"Much corporate giving is charitable in nature rather than philanthropic." ― David Rockefeller Topic(s): Nature More From David Rockefeller "I owe much to mother. She had an expert’s understanding, but also approached art emotionally." "I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years." "My grandfather, along with Carnegie, was a pioneer in philanthropy, which my father then practiced on a very large scale." More In Nature "Americans are apocalyptic by nature. The reason why is that we’ve always had so much, so we live in deadly fear that people are going to take it away from us."― Stephen King "Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric."― Kary Mullis "The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule."― Samuel Adams
